Reference and Online Resources
Updated March 4, 2010

The Woodbury Public Library is a member of LOGIN, a consortium of public and
academic libraries mostly located in Gloucester County. Our unified catalog
indexes more than 800,000 items available at 18 libraries. Using the LOGIN
catalog, you can locate material
here or at any of our member libraries, place holds on items, view your own
patron record, and request renewals using the
LOGIN Catalog. For more information about the LOGIN consortium, see our
LOGIN page.
If
you're a Woodbury Public Library cardholder and can’t find what you need
in the
LOGIN catalog, you can use the
JerseyCat catalog to request material via Interlibrary Loan.
JerseyCat
includes the collections of almost all of New Jersey's public libraries,
as well as many colleges, universities and schools. You may place your
Interlibrary loan requests online through JerseyCat, or by calling the
library at (856) 845-2611.
Important:
Please search the
LOGIN Catalog before requesting items through
JerseyCat. Jersey-Cat should only be used to request materials that are
not available through LOGIN. In order to be eligible to use this service,
you must have a valid Woodbury Public Library, card and be a borrower in
good standing. If your card was issued by another LOGIN library, please arrange your Interlibrary Loans through that
library.
Be sure to
include your name, phone number and library card barcode number on the
online
JerseyCat ILL request form to avoid any delay in processing your
request. The library will contact you by phone when your items arrive.
For help with
JerseyCat, or for any other interlibrary loan assistance, please call
the Woodbury Public Library at (856) 845-2611.

Are you constantly trying
to keep track of what you – or your kids -- have checked out at the
library? Do you hate paying fines because you forgot when your material
was due? Would you like an email or text-message alert when an item you
put on hold becomes available? If so, the free services of Library ELF can help!
Woodbury Library cardholders can
click
here to sign up, or for more
information, see our Library Elf page.
